I think you will need it :) > >what makes you think a winboard program could not one day be world champion >???????????????????????????????? Uh.... Well I'm no expert, far from, but from what I've seen the best Winboard program doesn't even come close to DeepBlue, the huge size and ability to search so many moves so fast would simply crush any winboard program. It's a good question though... I doubt we will get any responses cause this message is so far down the list. I'll tell ya what. I'll post a message asking can a winboard prog become a world champ. That way it will be on top of all messages so it can be seen ok?? Oh yes and one more thing, I hope I didn't sound to rude their Greg. My message didn't really come out the way it should have :)
